- status of the 2015 bump hunt analysis, analysis note and the draft of the paper 
Omar presented his final results on 2015 bump hunt. Results are ~x2 worse than what was presented at JLAB in May, 2017. For finishing the analysis, it was suggested to run more toys for mass region <39 MeV, to have the same statistics as for the higher mass region. 
EC approved the new results for presentation at ICHEP. Presentation slides will be sent to PCC for a final approval. 

For publication, Matt G. worked on the analysis note, it is almost ready, just needs to update numbers and figures. The same for the paper draft. If all goes well we should have both analysis note and the paper draft for the final review by EC/PPC and the collaboration this week. Then, after the approval, paper will be ready to be posted on arxiv on week of July 9th. 
 
- 2015 vertexing results for ICHEP (note, according to our updated bylaws collaboration should see slides at least a week before the talk) 
Matt G. gave an update on analysis efforts by him, Matt S. and Holly. Analysis using Pass6-fix had weird features. He suggested to present results from analysis using the pass8 data (note, pass8 data has z-vertex mass correlation). Background beyond z-cut is the same in both cases. More discussion and presentation will be given on Wednesday.   

- target for the next physics publication 
Overall consensus is that we should push for publication of 2016 data, bump hunt and vertexing in one paper. Since much has been done already on 2015 vertexing, it was suggested to combine that with 2016 data in the next publication. The vertexing team for 2015/2016 is more or less defined. We need to assign some one for the 2016 bump hunt analysis.  

- update on upgrades and the next run configuration (start of discussions) 
This has not been discussed.
